Saints TE Juwan Johnson managed just 4 catches for a season-low 16 yards in Sunday's loss to the Vikings, on 5 targets. Part of the issue was play volume, as Minnesota nearly doubled New Orleans in time of possession -- 39:37 to 20:23 -- and Tyler Shough attempted a season-low 25 passes. But Johnson has also seen negative impact to his role when TEs Noah Fant and Oscar Delp are both available. Fant returned from a one-week injury Sunday to play one more total snap than Johnson and run nine routes to Johnson's 18. Delp trailed them, playing 17 snaps (37.8%) and running two pass routes.

Bengals TE Mike Gesicki will be out "a while" with the pectoral injury he suffered in the Week 6 loss to the Packers, HC Zac Taylor said Monday. Cincinnati stuck with a TE rotation vs. Green Bay even after Gesicki exited early on. Noah Fant led the way with a 48% route rate, with Tanner Hudson at 35%, and Drew Sample at 22%. You can continue to ignore this group in all fantasy formats.

Bengals TE Mike Gesicki left Sunday's loss to the Packers early with an injury to his left pectoral muscle. Noah Fant led a three-man committee after he left.

Bengals TE Mike Gesicki has been ruled out of Sunday's game vs. the Packers with a left pectoral injury. We'll look for more details on the injury. Gesicki's absence should mean a bigger role in the passing game for TE Noah Fant, although he'll still likely fall short of reliable fantasy value in this Joe Flacco-led offense.

Seahawks TE Noah Fant caught three balls for 26 yards in Sunday's win over the Jets. That marked his return after missing three games with a back injury.

Seahawks TE Noah Fant (toe) practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday, and isn’t listed on the final injury report for this weekend’s opener vs. the Broncos. Fant missed some time in August with this foot injury, but it doesn’t look like it’ll be an issue going forward.

Seahawks TE Noah Fant (toe) was limited in Wednesday's practice. Fant was sidelined for part of August with a previously undisclosed injury, which we now know is to his toe. The limited practice should put him on track to play vs. the Broncos on Sunday, but hopefully you have a more reliable option for your fantasy lineup this week.

Seahawks TE Noah Fant has been sidelined with an undisclosed injury for the past several days and there has been little update to his injury. HC Mike Macdonald said he was optimistic that Fant would be ready for Week 1 against the Denver Broncos, a spot where Fant could be a red zone threat. The Seahawks new passing offense under OC Ryan Grubb could favor Fant at the TE position.

Seahawks TE Noah Fant left the field midway through practice today and did not return. HC Mike Macdonald did not meet with the media after practice, so there has been no official word on his injury.

Seahawks TE Noah Fant (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday night's game vs. the Giants. He wasn't on the injury report on Thursday or Friday but then popped up as a non-participant in Saturday's practice. With the late kickoff, Fant should not be in Week 4 fantasy lineups. TE Will Dissly (shoulder) is also questionable for Monday night, but he seems likely to play after putting in a full practice on Saturday.

Seahawks TE Noah Fant (knee) was a limited practice participant on Thursday and doesn't carry an injury tag in advance of Saturday's Wild Card game vs. the 49ers. Though Fant led all Seahawks TEs in target share this season (11.3%), his teammates Colby Parkinson and Will Dissly combined for a 13.6% share between them. It's a 3-headed attack with little predictability. We're not particularly keen on Fant or any other Seahawks TE in any playoff tournament.

Seahawks TE Noah Fant (knee) practiced fully on Friday and doesn't appear with an official injury designation ahead of Week 18. The veteran has mustered just 4 catches on 6 targets over the past 2 weeks. TE Colby Parkinson actually ran more routes (28 to 21) and tallied more targets (7 to 3) last week. We consider Fant a low-end TE2 for fantasy purposes. There are likely better options available.

Seahawks TE Noah Fant (knee) practiced in a limited capacity on Thursday. This is certainly good news considering Fant didn't practice on Wednesday. We'll keep an eye on his status ahead of Week 18 vs. the Rams. Tomorrow's injury report will shed more light on his availability.

The Seahawks placed TE Will Dissly on IR with a knee injury, ending his regular season. Dissly has averaged 2.5 targets per game this season, so his absence is just a slight boost to TE Noah Fant's fantasy value.

Seahawks TE Noah Fant (hamstring) is not listed on the final Week 9 injury report. He was a full participant in Friday’s practice after being limited the previous 2 days. Fant will continue splitting TE work with Will Dissly, leaving both guys outside TE1 territory.

Seahawks TE Noah Fant (hamstring) remained limited in Thursday's practice. We'll see what he does on Friday and how he's listed on the final injury report for this weekend's game vs. the Cardinals.

Seahawks WR Marquise Goodwin caught both of QB Geno Smith's TD passes in Sunday's win over the Chargers, snaring 4 of 5 targets overall for 67 yards. WR Tyler Lockett led Seattle in targets (8) and receptions (7) but managed only 45 yards. QB Geno Smith threw for a mere 210 yards, with TE Will Disly (4) and RB DeeJay Dallas the only 2 other Seahawks to catch multiple passes. WR D.K. Metcalf left early with a knee injury.

The Broncos have placed TE Albert Okwuegbunam on IR with a hamstring injury. He was already ruled out of Sundays game at Pittsburgh. Now he’ll miss at least 2 more beyond that. Okwuegbunam’s absence can only help the target outlook for lead Denver TE Noah Fant
